Título:Situated Simulation in the Human Conceptual System Abstract: The human conceptual system contains categorical knowledge about the world that supports online processing (perception, categorization, inference, action) and offline processing (memory, language, thought). Semantic memory, the classic view of the conceptual system, typically portrays it as modular, amodal, abstractive, and static. Alternatively, the conceptual system can be viewed as non-modular, modal, situated, and dynamic. From this perspective, the conceptual system is non-modular and modal because it shares representational mechanisms with modality-specific systems. On a given occasion, modality-specific information about a category's members is reenacted in relevant modality-specific systems to represent it. Furthermore these simulations are situated, preparing the conceptualizer for situated action with the category. Not only do these situated simulations represent the target category, they also represent background settings, actions, and mental perspectives, thereby placing the conceptualizer in the simulation, prepared for goal pursuit. Because the optimal conceptualization of a category varies across different courses of situated action, category representations are dynamic, not static. Behavioral and neural evidence is presented to support this view of the conceptual system.
